BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The invention relates to novel compounds that function as protein tyrosine kinase
inhibitors. More particularly, the invention relates to novel compounds that function
as inhibitors of c-fms kinase.
[0002] Protein kinases are enzymes that serve as key components of signal transduction pathways
by catalyzing the transfer of the terminal phosphate from adenosine 5'-triphosphate
(ATP) to the hydroxy group of tyrosine, serine and threonine residues of proteins.
As a consequence, protein kinase inhibitors and substrates are valuable tools for
assessing the physiological consequences of protein kinase activation. The overexpression
or inappropriate expression of normal or mutant protein kinases in mammals has been
demonstrated to play significant roles in the development of many diseases, including
cancer and diabetes.
[0003] Protein kinases can be divided into two classes: those which preferentially phosphorylate
tyrosine residues (protein tyrosine kinases) and those which preferentially phosphorylate
serine and/or threonine residues (protein serine/threonine kinases). Protein tyrosine
kinases perform diverse functions ranging from stimulation of cell growth and differentiation
to arrest of cell proliferation. They can be classified as either receptor protein
tyrosine kinases or intracellular protein tyrosine kinases. The receptor protein tyrosine
kinases, which possess an extracellular ligand binding domain and an intracellular
catalytic domain with intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity, are distributed among 20
subfamilies.
[0004] Receptor tyrosine kinases of the epidermal growth factor ("EGF") family, which includes
HER-1, HER-2/neu and HER-3 receptors, contain an extracellular binding domain, a transmembrane
domain and an intracellular cytoplasmic catalytic domain. Receptor binding leads to
the initiation of multiple intracellular tyrosine kinase dependent phosphorylation
processes, which ultimately results in oncogene transcription. Breast, colorectal
and prostate cancers have been linked to this family of receptors.
[0005] Insulin receptor ("IR") and insulin-like growth factor I receptor ("1GF-1R") are
structurally and functionally related but exert distinct biological effects. IGF-1R
overexpression has been associated with breast cancer.
[0006] Platelet derived growth factor ("PDGF") receptors mediate cellular responses that
include proliferation, migration and survival and include PDGFR, the stem cell factor
receptor (c-kit) and c-fms. These receptors have been linked to diseases such as atherosclerosis,
fibrosis and proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
[0007] Fibroblast growth factor ("FGR") receptors consist of four receptors which are responsible
for the production of blood vessels, for limb outgrowth, and for the growth and differentiation
of numerous cell types.
[0008] Vascular endothelial growth factor ("VEGF"), a potent mitogen of endothelial cells,
is produced in elevated amounts by many tumors, including ovarian carcinomas. The
known receptors for VEGF are designated as VEGFR-1 (Flt-1), VEGFR-2 (KDR), VEGFR-3
(Flt-4). A related group of receptors, tie-1 and tie-2 kinases, have been identified
in vascular endothelium and hematopoietic cells. VEGF receptors have been linked to
vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.
[0009] Intracellular protein tyrosine kinases are also known as non-receptor protein tyrosine
kinases. Over 24 such kinases have been identified and have been classified into 11
subfamilies. The serine/threonine protein kinases, like the cellular protein tyrosine
kinases, are predominantly intracellular.
[0010] Diabetes, angiogenesis, psoriasis, restenosis, ocular diseases, schizophrenia, rheumatoid
arthritis, cardiovascular disease and cancer are exemplary of pathogenic conditions
that have been linked with abnormal protein tyrosine kinase activity. Thus, a need
exists for selective and potent small-molecule protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

and covalent bonding, including hydrogen bonding. In certain instances the solvate
will be capable of isolation, for example when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated
in the crystal lattice of the crystalline solid. The term "solvate" is intended to
encompass both solution-phase and isolatable solvates.
Methods of Preparation
[0052]

[0053] Scheme 1 illustrates general methodology for the preparation of compounds of Formula
I where R
b is X (when X is available in starting material or prepared as shown in later schemes)
or compounds of Formula 1-6 where R
b is a leaving group (preferably bromo, chloro, or fluoro) that are useful intermediates
used in later schemes. To illustrate the methodology of this scheme, reagents and
conditions for the compounds where J is CH are defined. Those skilled in the art will
recognize that where J is N, minor modifications of the reaction conditions and preferred
reagents may be required.
[0054] Amines of Formula 1-1 may be commercially available or can be obtained from nitro
compounds of Formula 1-0 by reduction using standard synthetic methodology (see
Reductions in Organic Chemistry, M. Hudlicky, Wiley, New York, 1984). The preferred conditions are catalytic hydrogenation using a palladium catalyst
in a suitable solvent such as methanol or ethanol. In cases where R
b is a halogen and not available as amines of Formula 1-1, nitro reductions may be
performed using iron or zinc in a suitable solvent such as acetic acid, or using iron
and ammonium chloride in ethanol and water.
[0055] Compounds of Formula 1-2 where R
2 is cycloalkyl can be obtained by ortho-halogenation, preferably bromination, of amino
compounds of Formula 1-1 followed by metal-catalyzed coupling reactions with boronic
acids or boronate esters (Suzuki reactions, where R
2M is R
2B(OH)
2 or a boronic ester, see
N. Miyaura and A. Suzuki, Chem. Rev., 95:2457 (1995);
A. Suzuki in Metal-Catalyzed Coupling Reactions, F. Deiderich, P. Stang, Eds., Wiley-VCH,
Weinheim (1988)) or tin reagents (Stille reactions, where R
2M is R
2Sn(alkyl)
3, see
J. K. Stille, Angew. Chem, Int. Ed. Engl., 25: 508-524 (1986)) on the intermediate halo compound. When R
b is Br, an iodo can be introduced such that is reacts preferentially over the bromine
in the metal-catalyzed coupling reactions (when J is CH, this compound, is commercially
available). Preferred conditions for the bromination of 1-1 are N-bromosuccinimide
(NBS) in a suitable solvent such as
N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dichloromethane (DCM) or acetonitrile. Metal-catalyzed couplings,
preferably Suzuki reactions, can be performed according to standard methodology, preferably
in the presence of a palladium catalyst such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0)
(Pd(PPh
3)
4), an aqueous base such aq. Na
2CO
3, and a suitable solvent such as toluene, ethanol, 1,4-dioxane, dimethoxyethane (DME),
or DMF.
[0056] Compounds of Formula 1-2 where R
2 is cycloalkylamino (for example, piperidino) can be obtained by nucleophilic aromatic
substitution of leaving groups L
1 (preferably fluoro or chloro) from compounds of Formula 1-3 that are activated by
the nitro group with cycloalkylamines (R
2H; for example, piperidine) in the presence of a suitable base such as K
2CO
3,
N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) or NEt
3 to give compounds 1-4, followed by reduction of the nitro group as described above.
[0057] The amino group in compounds of Formula 1-2 can then be coupled with a heterocyclic
acid P
1-WCOOH (or a corresponding salt thereof P
1-WCOOM
2, where M
2 is Li, Na or K) where P
1 is an optional protecting group (for example 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl (SEM)
such as when W is imidazole, triazole, pyrrole, or benzimidazole) or where P
1 is not present such as when W is furan. (For a list of protecting groups for W, see
Theodora W. Greene and Peter G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John
Wiley and Sons, Inc., NY (1991)). The coupling can be carried out according to standard procedures for amide bond
formation (for a review, see:
M. Bodansky and A. Bodansky, The Practice of Peptide Synthesis, Springer-Verlag, NY
(1984)) or by reaction with acid chlorides P
1-WCOC1 or activated esters P
1-WCO
2R
q (where R
q is a leaving group such as pentafluorophenyl or N-succinimide) to form compounds
of Formula 1-5. The preferred reaction conditions for coupling with P
1-WCOOH or P
1-WCOOM
2 are: when W is a furan (optional protecting group P
1 not present), oxalyl chloride in dichloromethane (DCM) with DMF as a catalyst to
form the acid chloride WCOCl and then coupling in the presence of a trialkylamine
such as
N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIEA); when W is a pyrrole (optional protecting group P
1 not present), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI)
and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt); and when W is an imidazole, pyrrole or benzimidazole
(optional P
1 present) the preferred conditions are bromotripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate
(PyBroP) and DIEA in a solvent such as DCM or DMF.
[0058] When W in compounds of Formula 1-5 contain an optional protecting group P
1 as mentioned previously, it can be removed at this point to give compounds of Formula
1-6. For example, when W is imidazole protected on nitrogen with a SEM group, the
SEM group can be removed with either acidic reagents such as trifluoroacetic acid
(TFA) or fluoride sources such as tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) (see Greene and
Wuts above).
[0059] Finally it is understood that in compounds of Formula I (i.e., Formula 1-6 where
R
b is X) may be further derivatized. Examples of further derivatization, include, but
are not limited to: when compounds of Formula I contain a cyano group, this group
may be hydrolyzed to amides or acids under acidic or basic conditions; when compounds
of Formula I contain an ester, the ester may be hydrolysed to the acid, and the acid
may be converted to amides by the methods described above for amide bond formation.
Amides may be converted to amines by a Curtius or Schmidt reaction (for review see,
Angew. Chemie Int. Ed., 44(33), 5188-5240, (2005)) or amines may be obtained by reduction of cyano groups (
Synthesis, 12, 995-6, (1988) and
Chem. Pharm. Bull., 38(8), 2097-101, (1990)). Acids may be reduced to alcohols, and alcohols may be oxidized to aldehydes and
ketones. The preferred conditions for the reduction of a carboxylic acid in the presence
of a cyano group include sodium borohydride and ethyl chloroformate in tetrahydrofuran
(THF); and alcohol oxidation can be performed using the Dess-Martin periodinane reagent
(
Adv. Syn. Catalysis, 346, 111-124 (2004)). Aldehydes and ketones may be reacted with primary or secondary amines in the presence
of a reducing agent such as sodium triacetoxyborohydride (see
J. Org. Chem., 61, 3849-3862, (1996)) to give amines by reductive amination. Olefins may be reduced by catalytic hydrogenation.
When compounds of Formula I contain a sulfide, either acyclic or cyclic, the sulfide
can be further oxidized to the corresponding sulfoxides or sulfones. Sulfoxides can
be obtained by oxidation using an appropriate oxidant such as one equivalent of
meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) or by treatment with NaIO
4 (see, for
example, J. Med. Chem., 46: 4676-86 (2003)) and sulfones can be obtained using two equivalents of MCPBA or by treatment with
4-methylmorpholine N-oxide and catalytic osmium tetroxide (see, for example,
PCT application WO 01/47919). Also, both sulfoxides and sulfones can be prepared by using one equivalent and
two equivalents of H
2O
2 respectively, in the presence of titanium (IV) isopropoxide (see, for example,
J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 2, 1039-1051 (2002)).

[0060] Scheme 2 illustrates general methodology for the preparation of compounds of Formula
1 where X is

where R
3,R
9, and R
z are H, C
(1-4)alkyl or OR
a; R
10 is CO
2R
a, CH
2OH, C(O)NA
1A
2 and CH
2 NA
1A
2.
[0061] For the illustration of synthetic strategy in this scheme, reagents and conditions
are defined for the substrate where is R
z is H is used in this scheme. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the chemistry
is applicable to all X and R
z mentioned with little or minor modifications to reagents and conditions. In addition,
although reagents and conditions are defined for the substrate where J is CH, as previously
mentioned in Scheme 1, it is also understood that similar synthetic methods can be
utilized with minor modifications when J is N.
[0062] When R
2 in Formula I is cycloalkyl (including cycloalkenyl), the sequence begins with compound
2-2 which can be obtained by initial treatment of the ester 2-1 (R
a is C
(1-4)alkyl) with a suitable base such as lithium hexamethyldidilylamide (LHMDS) or preferably
lithium diisopropylamide (LDA), followed by nucleophilic aromatic substitution of
the leaving group R
b (preferably fluoro or chloro) in the 4-halonitrophenyl compound 1-0 (as prepared
in Scheme 1) with the resulting anion intermediate.
[0064] Compound 2-4 can be obtained by ortho-halogenation, preferably bromination, of amino
compound 2-4 followed by metal-catalyzed coupling reactions with boronic acid or boronate
ester (Suzuki reactions, where R
2M is R
2B(OH)
2 or a boronic ester) or tin reagent (Stille reactions, where R
2M is R
2Sn(alkyl)
3) on the intermediate halo compound as described in Scheme 1.
[0065] When R
2 in Formula I is cycloalkylamino (for example, piperidino), an alternative method
to prepare compound 2-4 begins with starting material 1-4 as described in Scheme 1
where R
b is preferably chloro or fluoro. Compound 2-5 can be obtained from 1-4 and 2-1 by
the same method as described for the conversion of compound 1-0 to compound 2-2. Compound
2-4 can then be obtained from compound 2-5 by reduction of the nitro group using standard
synthetic methodology as described in Scheme 1 for the conversion of compound 1-0
to compound 1-1.
[0066] The compounds of Formula I where R
10 is an ester (R
a is C
(1-4)alkyl) can be obtained from 2-4 by initial coupling with carboxylic acids P
1-WCOOH, followed by removal of the optional protecting group P
1 according to the procedures as described in Scheme 1 for the conversion of 1-2 to
1-6.
[0067] These compounds of Formula I where R
10 is an ester (R
a is C
(1-4)alkyl) can be further hydrolyzed by an appropriate metal hydroxide reagent such as
sodium hydroxide to give compounds of Formula I where R
10 is an acid (R
a is H).
[0068] The compounds of Formula I where R
10 is an amide (R
10 is C(O)NR
5R
6) can be obtained from the compounds of Formula I where R
10 is an acid (R
a is H) by initial treatment with an alkyl chloroformate, such as ethyl chloroformate,
followed by trapping of the intermediate activated acylcarbonate with a suitable primary
or secondary amine (HNA
1A
2). Similarly, compounds of Formula I where R
10 is a hydroxymethyl group can be obtained by reaction of the same intermediate activated
acylcarbonate with a suitable reducing reagent such as NaBH
4 (see, for example,
Tetrahedron, 62(4), 647-651; (2006)).
[0070] Aldehyde 2-6 can be reacted with appropriate primary and secondary amines (HNA
1A
2) in the presence of suitable reducing reagents such as NaBH
4 or NaBH
3CN, or preferably NaBH(OAc)
3 according to standard procedures for reductive amination as described in Scheme 1,
to form compounds of Formula I where R
10 is an aminomethyl group (R
10 is CH
2NA
1A
2).
[0071] It is understood that functional groups of compounds in this scheme can be further
derivatized as outlined in Scheme 1.

[0072] Scheme 3 illustrates general methodology for the preparation of compounds of Formula
I where X is

where R
3,R
9, and R
z are H, C
(1-4)alkyl or OR
a; R
10 is -CN or heteroaryl.
[0073] For the illustration of synthetic strategy in this scheme, reagents and conditions
are defined for the substrate where R
z is H is used in this scheme. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the chemistry
is applicable to all X and R
z mentioned with little or minor modifications to reagents and conditions. In addition,
although reagents and conditions are defined for the substrate where J is CH, as previously
mentioned in Scheme 1, it is also understood that similar synthetic methods can be
utilized with minor modifications when J isN.
[0074] The ester 2-2 (R
a is C
(1-4)alkyl) can be hydrolyzed by an appropriate metal hydroxide reagent such as sodium
hydroxide to give acid 2-2 (R
a is H). The acid 2-2 can be converted to nitrile 3-1 by standard procedures which,
in general, begin with activation of the acid, transformation into an amide or hydroxamate
followed by dehydration (see, for example,
J. Med. Chem., 33(10), 2828-41; (1990)), or preferably in one step by treatment with sulfonamide and thionyl chloride in
a suitable solvent such as sulfolane (see,
Tetrahedron Lett., 23(14), 1505-08; (1982)). Compound 3-2 can obtained from 3-1 by standard reduction procedures, preferably
catalytic hydrogenation as described in Scheme 1.
[0075] The compound 3-3 (L
2 is halogen) can be obtained by ortho-halogenation, preferably bromination, of amine
3-2. Preferred conditions for the bromination of 3-2 are N-bromosuccinimide (NBS)
in a suitable solvent such as
N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dichloromethane (DCM) or acetonitrile.
[0076] At this point the cyano group in 3-3 can be converted to an unsaturated heterocycle
in 3-4 by [2+3] cycloaddition with a 1,3 dipole or [2+4] cycloaddition with a diene
or heterodiene as illustrated in Scheme 3a. The various heterocycles that can be produced
are shown in Table 1 using the conditions in the references provided in the table.
[0077] When the unsaturated heterocycle present is unreactive toward halogenation, an alternative
route to 3-4 involves treatment of nitrile 3-2 as just described to first form the
unsaturated heterocycle followed by halogenation to introduce L
2 in 3-4.
Compound 3-5 can be obtained by metal-catalyzed coupling reactions of 3-4 with boronic
acids or boronate esters (Suzuki reactions, where R
2M is R
2B(OH)
2 or a boronic ester) or tin reagents (Stille reactions, where R
2M is R
2Sn(alkyl)
3). The metal-catalyzed couplings, preferably Suzuki reactions, can be performed according
to standard methodology as described in Scheme 1.
[0078] When R
2 in Formula I is cycloalkylamino (for example, piperidino), an alternative method
to prepare compound 3-5 begins with starting material 2-4 as prepared in Scheme 2.
The ester 2-4 (R
a is C
(1-4)alkyl) can be hydrolyzed by an appropriate metal hydroxide reagent such as sodium
hydroxide to give acid 2-4 (R
a is H). The acid 2-4 can be converted to nitrile 3-6 according to the procedures as
described for the conversion of 2-2 to 3-1. Compound 3-6 can be converted to compound
3-5 according to the methods as described for the conversion of 3-3 to 3-4.
[0079] The compounds of Formula I where R
10 is a nitrile (R
10 is CN) can be obtained from 3-6 by initial coupling with carboxylic acids P
1-WCOOH, followed by removal of the optional protecting group P
1 according to the procedures as described in Scheme 1 for the conversion of 1-2 to
1-6.
[0080] Similarly, the compounds of Formula I where R
10 is an unsaturated heterocycle can be obtained from 3-5 in two steps, namely coupling
with a carboxylic acid P
1-WCOOH followed by removal of the optional protection group, as described in Scheme
1 for the conversion of 1-2 to 1-6.
[0081] It is understood that functional groups of compounds in this scheme can be further
derivatized as outlined in Scheme 1.

[0082] Scheme 4 describes the synthesis of compounds of Formula I where X is

For the purpose of illustrating the methodology, reagents and conditions are defined
in this scheme for the substrates where X is

and where R
z, R
3 and R
9 are H; and J is CH. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the chemistry is
applicable to all X, R
z, R
3, R
9 and J referenced above can be utilized with minor modifications to the reagents and
conditions.
[0083] The starting material, compound 1-6 where R
b is halogen, preferably Br, is obtained as described in Scheme 1. The halo compound
1-6 can be converted to alcohol 4-1 by initial deprotonation with a suitable base,
such as isopropylmagnesium chloride (i-PrMgCl), followed by lithium-halogen exchange
with an appropriate lithium reagent such as n-butyllithium or preferably tert-butyllithium,
and then trapping of the organo-lithium intermediate with an appropriate ketone. Compounds
4-1 is both a compound of Formula I, and can serve as a useful intermediate for the
synthesis of other compounds with different groups for R
10.
[0084] The tertiary hydroxyl group in compound 4-1 can also be converted to an amino group
in compound I (R
10 is NA
1A
2) by activating 4-1 with a reagent such as thionyl chloride (SOCl
2) and trapping of the resulting intermediate(s) with a primary or secondary amine
(A
2A
1NH).
[0085] Compounds of Formula I where R
10 is alkoxy (OR
7) can be obtained from the hydroxyl compound 4-1 by treatment with acidic reagents
such as sulfuric acid or preferably trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and then trapping of
the resulting tertiary cation with an alcohol R
7OH (where R
7 is CH
2CH
2NA
1A
2 or CH
2CH
2OR
a where A
1,A
2 or R
a are not H).
[0086] The hydroxyl compound 4-1 can also be reacted with a sulfonamide R
8SO
2NR
aH in the presence of a Lewis acid (L. A.) such as boron trifluoride diethyl etherate
(BF
3·OEt
2) in a suitable solvent, such as THF to afford compound I (R
10 is NHSO
2R
8 where R
8 is CH
2CH
2NA
1A
2 or R
a where A
1, A
2 or R
a are not H).
[0087] Compounds of Formula I where R
10 is a sulfide (R
10 is SR
8) can be obtained from compound 4-1 by treatment with acidic reagents such as TFA
or Lewis acids such as BF
3·OEt
2 and then trapping of the resulting tertiary cation with a thiol R
8SH (where R
8 is CH
2CH
2NA
1A
2 or R
a).
[0088] Compounds of Formula I where R
10 is a sulfide (R
10 is SR
8) can be further oxidized to the corresponding sulfoxide (Formula I where R
10 is SOR
8) or sulfone (Formula I where R
10 is SO
2R
8) according to the sulfide oxidation procedures as described in Scheme 1.
[0090] It is understood that functional groups in this scheme can be further derivatized
as outlined in Scheme 1. For example, the amino group in compound 4-2 can be reacted
with various electrophiles. The amino group can be reacted with carboxylic acids according
to standard procedures for amide bond formation or by reaction with acid chlorides
or activated esters to form amide compounds as described in Scheme 1. It can be also
reacted with an appropriate carbonylation agent, such as phosgene, carbonyldiimidazole
or preferably triphosgene, in the presence of a base, such as pyridine or DIEA. The
intermediate thus formed can be trapped with a primary or secondary amine, to afford
the corresponding urea compound. Similarly, the amino group in compound 4-2 can be
reacted with an appropriate oxalylation agent, such as oxalyl chloride, in the presence
of a base, such as pyridine or DIEA and the intermediate thus formed can be trapped
with a primary or secondary amine to afford oxalamide compounds. Furthermore, the
amino group can be reacted with appropriate aldehydes or ketones in the presence of
suitable reducing reagents such as NaBH
4 or NaBH
3CN, or preferably NaBH(OAc)
3 according to standard procedures for reductive amination as described in Scheme 1,
to form compounds of Formula I where R
10 is NA
1A
2.

[0091] Scheme 5 describes the synthesis of compounds of Formula I where X is

where R
10 is H or OH. For the purpose of illustrating the methodology, compounds where X comprises
a cyclohexane ring are shown in Scheme 5, however those skilled in the art will recognize
that the chemistry is applicable to all X shown above. Although reagents and conditions
are defined for the substrate where J is CH, as previously mentioned in Scheme 1,
it is understood that similar synthetic methods can be utilized with minor modifications
when J is N.
[0092] Compounds of Formula 5-1 can be prepared from compounds of Formula 4-1 (prepared
as described in Scheme 4). When R
2 contains an alkene, compounds of formula 4-1 can be deoxygenated using stannyl radicals
(see,
J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun., 22, 1588-9, (1985) and
Prep. Carbohydrate Chem., 151, (1997)) or lithium perchlorate and triethylsilane (see,
Tetrahedron Lett., 35, 61-64, (1994). When R
2 does not contain an alkene, compounds of formula 4-1 can be deoxygenated in a two-step
sequence, first by dehydration using an acid such as TFA to give the alkene, followed
by reduction to the alkane using standard methodology such as catalytic hydrogenation
(see references Scheme 1). Compounds of Formula 5-1 are also compounds of Formula
I.
[0093] Compounds of Formula 5-2 are prepared from compounds of Formula 5-1 where R
3 is CO
2R
a (R
a is C
(1-4)alkyl), and R
9 is H by ester hydrolysis using preferably aqueous metal hydroxide solutions such
as potassium hydroxide. The acids of Formula 5-2 may be converted into amides of Formula
5-3 by the methods described in Scheme 1. Compounds of formula 5-2 and 5-3 are also
compounds of Formula I.
[0094] For compounds of Formula 5-1 where R
3 and R
9 together form a ketal, deprotection provides ketones of Formula 5-4 (see references
in Wuts and Green, cited in Scheme 1). The ketones may then be reduced to alcohols
of Formula I or reacted with amines in the presence of a reducing agent such as sodium
triacetoxyborohydride (see
J. Org. Chem., 61, 3849-3862, (1996)) to give amines of Formula 5-5 which are also compounds of Formula 1. Such amines
of Formula I may then be further derivatized according to the methods described in
Scheme 1.
[0095] Finally, the chemistry illustrated above for compounds of Formula 5-1, (ester hydrolysis
followed by amide formation, and ketal deprotection to ketones and then conversion
to alcohols and amines) also applies to compounds of Formula 4-1 to provide compounds
of Formula I where R
10 is OH. For ketal deprotection in the presence of acid sensitive functionality, LiBF
4 in wet CH
3CN may be used (see
Lipshutz, B. and Harvey, D., Synth. Commun., 12, 267 (1982)).

[0096] Scheme 6 illustrates an alternate route to compounds of Formula 5-1 where X is

and R
10 is H that are used in Scheme 5 and are also compounds of Formula I. The methodology
is illustrated for cyclohexane but those skilled in the art will recognize that the
chemistry applies to all X shown above. Although reagents and conditions are defined
for the substrate where J is CH, as previously mentioned in Scheme 1, it is understood
that similar synthetic methods can be utilized with minor modifications when J is
N.
[0097] Suzuki coupling of boronic acids (M is B(OH)
2)(or esters) of 6-1 with vinyl triflates of formula 6-2, followed by alkene reduction
gives compounds of Formula 1-1. Alternatively, the sequence may be reversed and boronic
acids (or esters) of formula 6-3 may be reacted with compounds of formula 1-0, where
R
b is a leaving group (preferably Br, I), followed by reduction to give 1-1. For preferred
methodology for Suzuki reactions and reductions see Scheme 1. Vinyl triflates of formula
6-2 are readily available from ketones by enolate formation using an appropriate base
such as LDA followed by reaction with N-phenyl bis-trifluoromethane sulfonamide (for
reviews
Acc. Chem Res., 21, 47, (1998).
[0098] Compounds of Formula 1-0 are then converted to compounds of Formula 5-1 according
to the methodology in Scheme 1 for the conversion of compounds of Formula 1-0 to compounds
of Formula 1-6.
[0099] The synthesis of compounds of Formula 5-1 where R
2 is cycloalkylamino (for example, piperidino) starts with compounds of Formula 1-3
(R
b is bromo or iodo). Suzuki coupling of compounds 1-3 with boronic acids (or esters)
of formula 6-3, followed by displacement of L
2 (preferable fluoro or chloro) with R
2H provides compounds of Formula 6-4 (see Scheme 1 for preferred methodology). Alternatively,
this sequence may be reversed to also provide compounds of Formula 6-4 (L
2 displacement followed by Suzuki coupling). Reduction of both the nitro and alkene
provides compounds of formula 1-2, which are then converted to compounds of Formula
5-1 as described for the conversion of compounds 1-2 to compounds of Formula 1-6 in
Scheme 1.

[0100] Scheme 7 describes the synthesis of useful intermediates of formula 1-0 where X is

For the purpose of illustrating the methodology, X is

Those skilled in the art will recognize that the chemistry is applicable to all X,
mentioned with only minor modifications to reagents and conditions. In addition, although
reagents and conditions are defined for the substrates where J is CH, as previously
mentioned in Scheme 1, it is also understood that similar synthetic methods can be
utilized with minor modifications when J is N.
[0101] Commercially available starting material 7-1 can be reacted in a suitable solvent
such as EtOH, THF, DME, or preferably DMF, with at least two equivalents of a suitable
base such as potassium tert-butoxide, NaOEt, LDA, LHMDS or preferably NaH, and a reagent
containing two leaving groups L
4 such as

to obtain compound 1-0. These reagents with leaving groups are either commercially
available or can be easily prepared. The suitable leaving groups L
4 are mesylates, tosylates, triflates and halogens such as Br, Cl, and I.

[0102] Scheme 8 illustrates a route to the preparation of 2-imidazolecarboxylates of Formula
8-5 where R
a is H or C
(1-4)alkyl, and R
d is H, alkyl, -CN, or -CONH
2 that are used as intermediates in the synthesis of compounds of Formula I where W
is imidazole.
[0103] Imidazoles of Formula 8-1 where R
a is H or C
(1-4)alkyl, and R
c is H, C
(1-4)alkyl or-CN are either commercially available or, in the case where R
c is -CN, are readily available from commercially available aldehydes (8-1 where R
c is CHO) by reaction with hydroxylamines followed by dehydration with a suitable reagent
such as phosphorus oxychloride or acetic anhydride (
Synthesis, 677, 2003). Imidazoles of Formula 8-1 are protected with a suitable group (P
1) such as a methoxymethylamine (MOM), or preferably a SEM group to give compounds
of Formula 8-2 (see
Theodora W. Greene and Peter G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John
Wiley and Sons, Inc., NY (1991)).
[0104] Imidazoles of Formula 8-2, where R
c is -CN, are halogenated with a suitable reagent such as N-bromosuccinimide or N-iodosuccinimide
under either electrophilic conditions in a solvent such as DCM or CH
3CN or under radical conditions in the presence of an initiator such as azobis(isobutyronitrile)
(AIBN) in a solvent such as CCl
4 to give compounds of Formula 8-3 where L
8 is a leaving group (preferably bromo or iodo). Halogen-magnesium exchange on compounds
of Formula 8-3 provides the organomagnesium species, which is then reacted with a
suitable electrophile to provide compounds of Formula 8-4. The preferred conditions
for halogen-magnesium exchange are using an alkyl-magnesium reagent, preferably isopropylmagnesium
chloride in a suitable solvent such as THF at temperatures between -78 °C - to 0 °C.
The preferred electrophiles are ethyl chloroformate or ethyl cyanoformate. For examples
of halogen-magnesium exchange on cyanoimidazoles see
J. Org. Chem. 65, 4618, (2000).
[0105] For imidazoles of Formula 8-2, where R
c is not -CN, these may be converted directly to imidazoles of Formula 8-4 by deprotonation
with a suitable base such as an alkyllithium followed by reaction with an electrophile
as described above for the organomagnesium species. The preferred conditions are treating
the imidazole with n-butyllithium in THF at -78 °C and quenching the resulting organolithium
species with ethyl chloroformate (for examples, see
Tetrahedron Lett., 29, 3411-3414, (1988)).
[0106] The esters of Formula 8-4 may then be hydrolyzed to carboxylic acids (M is H) or
carboxylate salts (M is Li, Na, or K,) of Formula 8-5 using one equivalent of an aqueous
metal hydroxide (MOH) solution, preferably potassium hydroxide in a suitable solvent
such as ethanol or methanol. Synthesis of compounds of Formula 8-5 where R
d is-CONH
2 is accomplished by first treating compounds of Formula 8-4 where R
c is -CN with an appropriate alkoxide such as potassium ethoxide to convert the cyano
group to an imidate group (Pinner reaction) followed by hydrolysis of both the ester
and imidate groups with two equivalents of an aqueous metal hydroxide solution.

[0107] Scheme 9 illustrates a route to 2-imidazolecarboxylates of Formula 9-3 or 9-5 where
R
e is chloro or bromo, and M is H, Li, K, or Na that are used as intermediates in the
synthesis of compounds of Formula I where W is imidazole.
[0108] Compounds of Formula 9-1 are first prepared by protection of commercially available
ethyl imidazolecarboxylate according to the methods outlined in Scheme 8, preferably
with a SEM group.
[0109] Compounds of Formula 9-2 are prepared by reaction of compounds of Formula 9-1 with
one equivalent of an appropriate halogenating reagent, such as NBS or NCS in a suitable
solvent such as CH
3CN, DCM or DMF at 25 °C. Compounds of Formula 9-4 are prepared by reaction of compounds
of Formula 9-1 with two equivalents of an appropriate halogenating reagent, such as
NBS or NCS in a suitable solvent such as CH
3CN or DMF at temperatures between 30 °C to 80 °C. Imidazoles of Formula 9-3 and 9-5
are then obtained from the respective esters by hydrolysis as described in Scheme
8.

[0110] Scheme 10 illustrates a method for the preparation of imidazoles of Formula 10-3
where R
f is -SCH
3, -SOCH
3, or -SO
2CH
3, M is H, Li, K, or Na that are used as intermediates in the synthesis of compounds
of Formula I where W is imidazole.
[0111] Imidazole 10-1 (
WO 1996011932) is protected according to the methods described in Scheme 8, preferably with a SEM
protecting group to give compounds of Formula 10-2. Ester hydrolysis according to
the procedure in Scheme 8 gives compounds of Formula 10-3 where R
f is -SCH
3. Oxidation of 2-methylthioimidazoles of Formula 10-2 with one equivalent of an appropriate
oxidant, followed by ester hydrolysis according to the procedure in Scheme 8 gives
compounds of Formula 10-3 where R
f is -SOCH
3. Oxidation with two equivalents of an appropriate oxidant, followed by ester hydrolysis
according to the procedure in Scheme 8 gives compounds of Formula 10-3 where R
f is -SO
2CH
3. The preferred reagent for oxidation is MCPBA in DCM. References for the conversion
of sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones are given in Scheme 1.

IV. Results
Fluorescence Polarization Competition Immunoassay
[0217] An autophosphorylation, fluorescence polarization competition immunoassay was used
to determine the potency for c-fms inhibition exhibited by selected compounds of Formula
I. The assay was performed in black 96-well microplates (LJL BioSystems). The assay
buffer used was 100 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine 1-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES),
pH 7.5, 1 mM 1,4-dithio-DL-threitol (DTT), 0.01 % (v/v) Tween-20. Compounds were diluted
in assay buffer containing 4 % dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) just prior to the assay. To
each well, 5 µL of compound were added followed by the addition of 3 µL of a mix containing
33 nM c-fms (Johnson & Johnson PRD) and 16.7 mM MgCl
2 (Sigma) in assay buffer. The kinase reaction was initiated by adding 2 µL of 5 mM
ATP (Sigma) in assay buffer. The final concentrations in the assay were 10 nM c-fms,
1 mM ATP, 5 mM MgCl
2, 2 % DMSO. Control reactions were ran in each plate: in positive and negative control
wells, assay buffer (made 4 % in DMSO) was substituted for the compound; in addition,
positive control wells received 1.2 µL of 50 mM ethylenediaminetetraaceticacid (EDTA).
[0218] The plates were incubated at room temperature for 45 min. At the end of the incubation,
the reaction was quenched with 1.2 µL of 50 mM EDTA (EDTA was
not added to the positive control wells at this point; see above). Following a 5-min
incubation, each well received 10 µL of a 1:1:3 mixture of anti-phosphotyrosine antibody,
10X, PTK green tracer, 10X (vortexed), FP dilution buffer, respectively (all from
PanVera, cat. # P2837). The plate was covered, incubated for 30 min at room temperature
and the fluorescence polarization was read on the Analyst. The instrument settings
were: 485 nm excitation filter; 530 nm emission filter; Z height: middle of well;
G factor: 0.93. Under these conditions, the fluorescence polarization values for positive
and negative controls were approximately 300 and 150, respectively, and were used
to define the 100 % and 0 % inhibition of the c-fms reaction. The reported IC
50 values are averages of three independent measurements.
CSF-1-Driven Mouse Bone-Marrow Derived Macrophages Assay
[0219] Macrophages are derived by culturing mouse bone marrow in alpha-MEM supplemented
with 10% FCS and 50 ng/ml recombinant mouse CSF-1 in bacteriologic dishes. On the
sixth day, macrophages are detached from dishes, washed, and resuspended to 0.05 million
cells/ml in alpha-MEM containing 10% FCS. One hundred ul of cell suspension are distributed
per well into 96 well culture plates. Wells are further supplemented with the addition
of 50 ul media containing 15 ng/ml CSF-1, 3 uM Indomethacin, and 3X of a dilution
series of test compounds. The cells are cultured for 30 hrs at 37 degrees and 5%CO2.
During the final six hours, cultures are supplemented with an additional 30 ul of
media containing a 1:500 dilution of bromodeoxyuridine (BrDU). At the end of the culture
period, the plates are spun at 1000 RPM for 1 minute and 130 ul of media is removed
with a pipet and replaced with 150 ul of fixative solution for 1 hour @ room temperature.
The fixative is then dispelled from the plates and the plates allowed to air dry.
Incorporation of BrDU into the fixed, dried cells is quantified using a specific ELISA.
[0220] Table 2 lists the assay results for representative compounds of the invention.
